Question about heads on an 02 Camaro SS i'm looking at. Hey everybody it's been 3 years since I've owned my 2000 Ws6 and looking to buy another LS1 fobdy and I've found an 02 SS that the guy is the 2nd owner and original owner of the car put the regular bolt ons headers, ORY, lid etc. but he also said there are CNC 243 heads on the car but has a stock cam. I looked on CNC's website and their is no info on their heads. Anybody on here know anything about CNC's heads or why anybody would do heads and not a cam with it? Guy I am looking to buy from didn't do any of the work and has drove it for 2 years this way and knows nothing about motor work.

243 is the casting number. They are GM heads. Try to find out from the original owner what kind of heads they are. Patriot is a popular one but there many shops setting these heads up. Usually CNC'd heads are also fitted with larger valves, better springs etc. FWIW
This sounds like a nice ride. What color is it? I'd check it out, make sure it's getting good oil pressure, etc. You can point to the leaking rear diff and use that as leverage to talk him down a bit lol. I think you can get it for less. Economy is bad, he should jump at a chance to sell it.: Good luck
